Global urbanization and food production in direct competition for land: Leverage places to mitigate impacts on SDG2 and on the Earth System (2019, background): “Intensification is highly dependent on inputs to maintain crop yields at economically sustainable levels, even over the short term (Foley et al., 2011; Lobell et al., 2011; Ray et al., 2012).”
A food systems approach to researching food security and its interactions with global environmental change (2011, background): “changed biophysical environmental ‘drivers’ on food production are increasingly important, especially now that evidence has emerged of reduced yields worldwide due to climate change (Lobell et al. 2011).”
Smart Engineering of Genetic Resources for Enhanced Salinity Tolerance in Crop Plants (2016, background): “stress is highlighted by three global environmental issues: (1) the restriction of water resources in both quantity and quality (WHO, 1997); (2) the loss of biodiversity (Robinson, 1993); and (3) climate change associated with global warming (Lobell et al., 2011).”
